Miele KD 683 i-3 Operating And Installation Manual page 25

We do not recommend the use of
hot air blowers such as hairdryers
for defrosting your appliance.
Never place electric heaters or
candles in the appliance to defrost
it. These can damage the plastic
parts.
Do not use defrosting sprays or
de-icers, as they could contain
substances which could damage
the plastic parts and which may
cause a build-up of gases and pose
a danger to health.
After defrosting
^ Mop up any residual water still in the
freezer section with a sponge or
absorbent cloth.
^ Clean the freezer section and then
dry it thoroughly.
^ Close the freezer section door, insert
the plug in the socket and switch the
appliance back on.
^ Switch on the winter setting so that
the freezer section can achieve the
required temperature quickly. The
indicator light will come on.
^ Once the temperature in the freezer
section has reached the required
temperature, place the food back in
the freezer drawers and slide the
drawers back into the freezer section.
^ Switch the winter setting off. The
indicator light will go out.
